The statement comes two days after pro-Palestine student protesters occupied the main building at Queen’s. The protest was organised by the Queen’s University Belfast Palestine Assembly, which called on the university to “review all ties” with Israeli universities, cultural institutions and its industrial sector, as well as implementing a sector-wide withdrawal of support for “companies engaged in violations of Palestinian human rights”.

The university stated that it currently has no direct investment in Israeli companies, and that indirect investment was “negligible and is already subject to our responsible investment policy”.
